Yes, There Was a Relationship Between the Clinton Foundation and the State Department

Breaking news: August 10: The Clinton Foundation had a cozy relationship with the State Department while Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State! So, say the Clinton emails.

Really? Judicial Watch didn't need to use the Freedom of Information Act to access Hillary Clinton's emails to find this out. The fact is that she funneled work to the Clinton Foundation while she was the head of the State Department, and the Clinton Foundation is proud of it. Take this excerpt from their web page on Haiti (linked at the end of this blog):

In collaboration with the Government of Haiti, the Inter-American Development Bank, and the U.S. State Department, the Clinton Foundation assisted with the development of the Caracol Industrial Park, which could ultimately create up to 60,000 jobs and help to decentralize the Haitian economy.

Of course, for that collaboration, I'm quite sure that Bill Clinton and other members of the Clinton Foundation got handsome paychecks.

What's even worse, was that the project failed to produce those promised jobs. This despite the millions poured into it by the American taxpayers.
